EDITORS.
MRS. ANN S. STEPHENS AC WILLIAM W. SNOWDEN.
Assisted by many of the most popular lWriters.
SINCE the publication of the f.lay number, the
demand for the Ladies’ Companion has
been unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine
anticipations. At the commencement ot the vol
ume an additional number of copies were printed,
which was considered at the time adequate to sat
isfy all the orders which might be received, and
leave a considerable number on hand for subse
quent calls. The publisher is more than gratified
in stating that the whole edition was nearly ex
hausted before the issuing of the seventh number
of the volume; and at this time but very few com
plete sets remain on hand, to supply the numer
ous orders which are daily received lroni every
section of tlie United States.
Inconsequence of this great unforeseen increase
of new subscribers, he has determined to double
the number of impressions tor the subsequent
year; while he most gratefully appreciates tiie un
precedented encouragement extended to the La
dies’ Companion, and at the same time he begs to
assure the readers of the Magazine and the pub
lic in general, that it is his ardent resolution to
meet it with a corresponding liberality on his pait
to merit its continuance.
Splendid .Steel Engravings by our best ar
tists, accompany each number—illustrated by
Tales and spirited Sketches—which will, as here
tofore, continue magnificent and lar superior to
those published in any other Magazine iu Ameri
ca.
The Ladies’ Companion contains alarger quart
tity of reading than any other magazine issued iu
this country, and its subscription price is only
three dollars a year, while the great combination
of talent secured for the coming year w ill render
it unequalled by any other periodical.
Its Literary Character I will undergo con
siderable change, as the publisher of the Ladies’
Companion, in order to show his appreciation of
the public favor already extended to him so liber
ally, has secured the aid of Mrs. ANN S. STE
PHENS, late Editor of the ‘Portland Magazine,’
and author of a series of the most beautiful and
popular tales ever presented to an American
public. No lady possessing greater variety of tal
ent, or better calculated to aid in conducting a
Ladies’ Magazine, could have been selected from
the galaxy of female genius which is the glory ol'
our country. In addition to the powerful talents
of Mrs. Stephens, the proprietor has secured a
list of contributors, which combined will render
the Ladies’ Companion one of the most interesting
and talented Magazines of the day.
Mrs. L. 11. Sigourney, Mrs. Jane E. Locke,
Mrs. VVnodhull, Mrs. Emma C. Embury, Miss
A. D. Woodbridgc, Miss 11. L. Beasley, Miss
Charlotte Cushman, Miss Mary Emily Jackson,
Messrs. Robert Hamilton, J. N. MeJilton, James
Brooks, Erastus Brooks, Rev. J. 11. Clinch, Rev.
A. A. Lipscomb, Greenville Mellon, N. C.
Brooks, a. m. S. E. Beckett, James Furbish,
William Cutter, John Neal, Henry F. Harring
ton, Isaac C. Pray, Jr. James E. Vail, Edward
Maturin, Jonas 11. Phillips, E. Burke Fisher, R.
S. Meckcnzie, l. l. and.
With many others who w ill occasionally contri
bute to the pages of the work, and every exertion
will be made to render the Ladies’ Companion,
what a work devoted to the female portion of the
community should be, interesting, useful and in
structive.
The Musical Department is under the su
pervision of Mr. J. Watson, whose qualifications
for the task are too well known to require our tes
timony.
This department of the Ladies’ Companion has
ever commanded a large share of attention, and
been looked upon with no little interest by its rea
ders, and more especially the Ladies, whom the
publisher is in the highest degree anxious to
please. It will continue to be a subject of more
than usual care to him, and to the Professor,
under whose supervision it is placed, to make that
portion ot the magazine allotted to Music, more
than ever deserving of the countenance of every
lover of music. It has ever been and will contin
ue to be the desire to have all pieces of Music
printed correctly and free from errors.
The Work in General. Over every depart
ment r.n equally careful supervision will be strict
ly exercised by tiie Editors, and all appropriate
expenditures will be, liberally bestowed, as it is the
design of the publisher, with the aid of his con
tributors and the advice of his friends to make the
Ladies' Companion distinguished for the beauty
and accuracy of its typography; the variety and
high tone of its literary articles ; the quality and
value of its music ; and the unequalled splendor
of its Pics o sal Embellishments.
It is the determination [of the publisher to use
every means to maintain the superiority which
the Ladies’ Companion has obtained. For four
years he lias steadily pursued a course of improve
ment. and lie (bitters himself that his present fa
cilities are such as to give the Ladies’ Companion
eminent advantages over all other publications of
its character.
From the foregoing it will be perceived that the
Ladies’ Companion embraces every department
within the range of Belles-lettres aud the Fine
Arts; and no exertions or expense will be deem
ed too great to render the work equal to any other
extant. The flattering and general testimonials
of nearly every cotemporary journal in the United
States, and in fart, many on the other side of the
Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undeniable
claims of the Ladies’ Companion to the support
of the public generally. There is no u-ork that
gives its readers such great return for their subscrip
tion.
The Prize Articles w ill all be published du
ring the year. ’1 hese articles will comprise the
successful candidates for the premiums of one
thousand dollars awarded by a committee of liter
ary gentlemen in August Inst.
TERMS.—Three Dollars a year in advance, or
four during the year. No subscription received
for less than one year.

Florence, Stctta&f Ga.
W"E have been induced to publish the MIR
ROR, from the firm conviction that the in
creasing wealth and population of the counties
bordering on the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers,
in this section of Georgia, call loudly for a chron
icler of the times.
We do not deem it necessary to go into a
lengthy detail of the doctrines this paper will sup
port, or the principles it will inculcate, and the
grounds upon which they are predicated—but
will merely state that it is intended to diffuse gen
eral information throughout the country, of a i'o
mestic, Foreign and Political nature. A consid
erable portion of its columns will be devoted to
Literary and Miscellaneous matter, which depart
ment shall receive particular attention.
We deem it necessary, however, to state that the
political stand w hich the Mirror will ussv.me, wff,
be a firm and independent one: and in support of
the .State Rights and Anti-V an Ruben party
of Georgia; bill conducted with moderation and
prudence, without descending to the low billings
gate which is so characteristic of the political
Newspapers of the day. Claiming the right to ex
ercise an opinion of our own, we shall lie willing,
at all times to admit that right in others—and when
ever occasion requires us to speak of the doi trines
or opinions of our political opponents, w e shall do
so with respectful consideration.
TERMS—The Georgia Mirror w ill be pub

advance, or FOUR DOLLARS at the end of tin.

PROSPECT! X
OF THE
Southern liitn'.ii’Y
is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly
JL to Literature, lmt occasionally finding
room also for articles that fall wit Lin the cope ol
Science; and not professing an c-itiiv disdain ol
tasteful selections, though its matter has been, as
it will continue to be, in the main, original.
Partly Politics, anil controversial Thco'ogu, as
far as possible, are jealously excluded. They are
sometimes so blended with discussions in Minia
ture or in moral science, otherwise unobjection
able, as to gain admittance for the sake of the
more valuable matter to which they adhere : fim
whenever that happens they are incidental, only;
not primary. They are dross, tolerated only be
cause it cannot well be severed from the sterline
ore wherewith it is incorporated.
Reviews and Critical Notices, occupy their
due space in the work: and it is the Editor’s aim
that they should have a threefold tendency—to
convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truths
or interesting incidents as are embodied in the
works reviewed, —to direct the readers attention
to books that dqsepve to he read—and to w arn
him against wastiijg time and money upon that
large number, which merit only to be burned. In
this age of publications that bv their variety and
multitude, distract and overwhelm!! every umiis
criminating student, impartial criticism, gov
erned by the views just mentioned, is one of the
most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries
to him who does wish to discriminate.
Essays and Tales, having in view utility or a
musemont, or both— Historical sketches —and
Reminisences of events too minute for History,
yet elucidating it, and heightning its interest
may be regarded as forming the staple of the
work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough is
published—sometimes of no mean strain—to man
ifest and to cultivate the grow ing poetical taste
and talents of our country.
The times appear, for several reasons, to de
mand such a work—and not one alone, but inanv.
The public mind is feverish and irritated still,
from recent political strifes: The soft, assuasive
influence of Literature is needed, to allay that
fever, and soothe that irritation. Vice and follv
are rioting abroad: —They should be driven bv
indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, into tlieir
firing haunts. Ignorance lords it over an hr
mouse pro] . ilion ol our people:—bun sj.ifi,
should dc s>< t in motion, to aroi.se the enlighten
ed, a:: 1 to increase th**ir numbei ; so that il 1( -
great enemy of popular government may no lun
ger brrtod, like a poileifiwu.x cloud, over the dt-s
--lioies of our country. knd 10 accomplish all
thc-se ends, what more powerful agent can be cni
ployed, than a periodical on the plan of the Mes
senger ; il’that plan be but carried out in prac
tice !
The South peculiarly requires such an agenfi
In all the Union, south of \V ashingtou, there are
but two Literary periodicals! Northward of that
city, there are probably at least twenty-five or
thirty! Is this contrast justified by the wealth
the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary
taste of the Southern people, compared with
those of the Northern? No: for iu wealth, tal
ents and taste, we may justly claim, at least, an
equality with our brethren md a domestic insti
tution exclusively our ov. n, beyond all doubt, af-~
fords us, if we choose, twice the leisure for read
ing and writing w hich they enjoy.
It was from a deep sense ot this local want, that
the word Southern was engrafted on this peri,
odical: and not w itii any design to nourish local
prejudices, or to advocate supposed local inter
osts. Far from any such thought, it is the Edi
tor's fervent wish, to see tne North and South
bound endearingly together, forever, in the .silken
hands of mutual kindness and affection.
